Pregnancy Symptoms in the First Trimester

[neeny]

Hi girls

Anyone feeling a bit dizzy? I'm nearly 8 weeks now. No m/s but am always hungry so its hard to not snack on junk food.

Hi all,

My worst symptom (other than the inability to type properly) has been regular and frequent heart palpitations. How long do these go for?

Hi, i am currently 4 weeks 2 days and i have got sore boobs, off food, and cups of tea are gross. I have been getting really tired and sometimes feel so weak like ive been partying for few days.... crying for no reall reason and snappy too then the next minute im laughing at the TV...


Kama - i did like 10 pregnancy test (stupid i know) but i was in denial...... all were positive with different degrees of darkness..... i ended up doing a digital one that said PREGNANT.. i havnt done another one since......LOL ...

Hi Katey

That could be stress darls so if they continue you may like to get it checked out by the doc.. aren't you carrying twins? I think someone in here is.

Hi Gurls!

This is my 3rd pregnancy, but the first that has made it this far.

My first trimester symptoms have consisted of:
* Morning sickness (the all day type)
* Extreme fatigue
* Really sore and enlarged bbs
* Nausea

I have been for my first round of test, everthing was o.k except that I had an iron deficency. So I am now on iron and folic acid tablets.

I was wondering however, when does the sore bbs stop???

[neeny]

Well I thought I'd escaped m/s until yesterday. Threw up twice at work and have today off - have been quite yukky today.

And I thought being at 9 weeks I was in the clear - hope I get better soon.

Oh yeah Sarah - I hate the sore breasts big time!

Am into my 9th week and the only bodily symptons have been enlarged swollen boobs, darker nipples and in the past 2 days a slight cramping to the right side of my abdoman. Is this normal to be isolated to one side???

My DP loves the new swollen bb however they are not small by any means...always been a 12C - DD now I've gone to E...he loves them....MEN!!!
Is anyone getting neck shoulder pain from the extra weight they are lumping around on their chest!!!

My grandmother has advised me to steer clear of citrus fruits!! Why I have no idea, is there reason for this at all?

I'm 9 weeks and so far so good. Only symptoms are sensitive nipples, constant trips to the toilet and extreme tiredness (which could be attributed to the 4 times I am waking up during the night to go to the loo), and a bit of a sore back. If this is as bad as it gets though, who's complaining.

[Mrslucy]

I think I have managed to have everything on the list so far and I am only 8 weeks, hope it gets better as I go along

hi girls,
I'm just 5wks and the only symptoms i have so far is af type cramping. and the very very slightest nausea. this is my first pregnancy and i'm so scared that something awfu might happen to the baby. I just feels so strange to think that I'm pregnant I don't even feel pregnant I sort of wish i could skip all this and just start at 12 wks so at least i could have an u/s and see the baby .

Hi nikiE

You are normal. I bet everyone who is pregnant for the firet time has the same fears as you. Symptoms in pregnancy vary a lot between women so there is no real "normal". If nausea and/or vomiting do become a problem try taking ginger. You can make ginger tea, ginger beer, you can even just eat small amounts of fresh ginger. If you buy ginger beer from the shop just have a look what else is in it, they often have lots of sugar.

thanks alan it's amazing how much everyones symptoms vary i've learnt alot from ready this thread i know that i should'nt worry so much cause it can't be good for the baby but i just so badly want everything to work well and i just want my baby to be healty and happy

Hi all, i'm currently 6w4d.
My symptons so far have been continual period like dull aching (uterus expanding). Extremely sore nipples, slightly tender boobs and this week a regular lump at the back of my throat that makes me feel nauseas for about 1 1/2 hrs a day..
Oh and most of all EXTREME TIREDNESS. I'm sure I was close to falling asleep while reading my class a story last week.

Hello all. Just needed a bit of advise and to share my poor husbands worries at us having number 3.

I am due for my period today and have taken my temp religiously for the last month (as a very good friend advised me to do...sam). My husband was with me last wednesday when we decided to do a test, 8pm at night. I have been really sick for 8 days. A faint positive strip came up around 5mins after doing the test. Still unsure my husband and I did another test today at lunch and I got a slight positive line right away. Now I know your thinking, this chick already has 2 boys, but god, ive forgotten so much. Ive had cramping, like period pain for the past 2 days, on and off and im worried that i may have jumped the gun...please help an insane woman who absolutely hates chocolate at the moment but loves garlic. Sick isnt it!
My Husbands worries are quiet funny. When i hit the 14 week mark, my ms goes and my husband is sick until i have the baby. I think i get the better end of the deal, 3 months compared to 6. I was wondering if there are any other hubbies that get ms aswell?
Sorry about the novel
